(Bubbles to celebrate the Christmas Weekend)

We entered the Christmas weekend full of anticipation and excietment for the festive get togethers planned… from visiting Santa (Harper was not having him) to hosting Christmas Eve, and seeing Harper take in the holiday… the weekend most definitely did not disappoint… TJ and I were inducted into Christmas with a toddler as we spent 3 hours putting together Harper’s trampoline with my parents… watching her huge smile when it was finished… and seeing her sheer delight in playing with it…. Christmas truly is a little more magical with a little one running around (even if she’s given us 4 sleepless nights in a row #SleepRegression….)….

And, as we head into the last full week of 2017, we plan to do some relaxing, more focused family time, and a few fun celebrations with friends to wrap up with year… and prepare for 2018. A time to reflect on goals, set some new ones, and look back on the blessed year that we were given. So, in that light, I’ll keep today’s post short and sweet, and hope that you can spend some much needed time resting, reflecting, and surrounded by those you love! xx

(Took little miss to see the Christmas train a few days before the holiday…. my sweater, scarf, beanie, Harper’s vest, booties, beanie)

(Brunch with the family, post seeing Santa…. ball bracelet, ball cuff, other favorite Gorjana pieces)

(Is this not the most awkward photo ever?? Little miss refused to sit on his lap, so we all decided to hop in….)

(Cozied up in sparkly kicks for Santa… cardigan, tee (on sale!), sneakers, other favorite Tretorns… one of my favorite sneaker brands, so comfortable))

(Christmas Eve with our little lady… my boots, Harper’s Jacket, Harper’s Skirt)

(Went very neutral for Christmas Eve’s Table setting)

(Post Christmas bumming around attire…. joggers (on sale), pullover (on sale), bag (on sale))

So, I’ve definitely been indulging these past couple of days… and with my birthday and the New Year approaching, it probably won’t stop until after the NY. I’ll be doing the Tone It Up Detox come January 2, and encourage you to check it out too if you’re interested in a healthy way (read: no starving and no juice cleanses) to hit the reset button!

Lots of great sales going on right now, and I wanted to share with you the favorites that I personally own that are included….

Nordstrom’s Half Yearly sale has so many great items. My favorite plush lounge set, and star lounge sweater/shorts are marked down…. This super cozy fleece zip-up + vest are perfect for these cooler temps…. My toss-on-and-go logo hoodie…. workout hoodie that I’ve had since last season…. pearl beaded sweatshirt…. sequin top (featured here) perfect for NY!….floral embroidered hoodie (perfect four lounging)…. fringed pullover…. olive lace-up sweatshirt (which comes in several color options)… and this gray shoulder button sweater….

I also love these earrings and this beaded bracelet… both great options if you have fun NY plans….

I also have this crop utility jacket in my cart, as well as these booties….

SHOPBOP is having a great sale as well…. with code JOY25 you can take an extra 25% off sale items. I love this shoulder tie sweater and so many BB Dakota pieces are on sale (love their price point and on trend clothing items….), and lots of Free People items on sale too.

My favorite faux fur bag from Free People is on major sale (bought it in gray for my sister…)… 40% will be taken off at check-out making it $29.
